dns/ddclient stopped updating my dynamic DNS

[martinko]

Hallo,

ddclient used to work for me very well for a long time.
But recently I noticed the following in my syslog:

Oct 30 19:16:50 myhostname ddclient[1871]: WARNING:  cannot connect to 
members.dyndns.org:443 socket: IO::Socket::SSL: Timeout IO::Socket::INET 
configuration failederror:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0)
Oct 30 19:16:50 myhostname ddclient[1871]: FAILED:   updating 
myhostname.dyndns.org: Could not connect to members.dyndns.org.
Oct 30 19:21:50 myhostname ddclient[1871]: WARNING:  file 
/var/tmp/ddclient.cache, line 3: Invalid Value for keyword 'ip' = ''

I tried to stop ddclient, delete /var/tmp/ddclient.cache and restart it 
via rc.d, but it didn't help.
Please note that I did not touch my configuration since initial setup.

Is it something to do with ddclient or perhaps with Perl or something 
else ??

Thanks,

Martin
